Assessment• Middle-Level double testing issue• A1 and Integrated Algebra doubling-up• Allow for Geometry doubling-up (through
June 2016)• Some PARCC piloting going on (samples)• K-2 standardized testing prohibited• Time limit on assessments for APPR
CCLS Regents 5 LevelsNYS Level 5• Analogous to current Mastery Level• Students exceed Common Core grade-level expectationsNYS Level 4• Analogous to current 75/80• Aspirational Performance Measure• Students meet Common Core grade-level expectationsNYS Level 3• Analogous to current 65• Graduation and Credit Proficiency• Students partially meet Common Core grade-level expectationsNYS Level 2• Analogous to current 55• Safety Net for students with disabilities• Not proficient on Common Core grade-level expectationsNYS Level 1• Does not demonstrate knowledge and skills sufficient for Level 2
4 to 5 Performance Levels
Curriculum and Standards• Research paper requirement on hold• Next Generation Science Standards on
hold• Social Studies Frameworks draft
Data• Data portal on hold
Placement Decisions• Special AIS cut points will again be provided• SED neither requires nor encourages districts to
make promotion or placement decisions using student performance on state assessments in grades 3-8
• Make adjustments to ensure students are not negatively impacted by the Common Core transition and use multiple measures - not grades 3-8 state assessment results alone for AIS
Accountability• 12-year road map that requires student
proficiency on the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) for graduation purposes beginning with the class of 2022?
• Exactly what this means is unclear. Until 2022 it means there will be a conversion from Common Core to the old levels. After that?
ON HOLD: Accountability• If a school district seeks to terminate an educator
based on an ineffective rating resulting from student performance on Common Core assessments administered in the 2012-13 and/or 2013-14 school years, he or she may raise as a defense an alleged failure by the board of education to timely implement the Common Core by providing adequate professional development, guidance on curriculum, or other necessary supports to the educator during those school years
